When I say "server" I mean this would be a machine offering CVS access over ssh or pserver - it would be the only machine accessing the repository files on the NFS server, all clients would talk to the CVS server. There are a lot of reports of CVS file corruption when using an NFS-mounted repository. These all seem to boil down to "we don't really know why it happens, but it seems to be interoperability problems between NFS client and server implementations". There are more reports of problems when clients access the repository directly, but it seems to still happen when only one server machine is touching the NFS volume. So I'm looking for reports (good or bad) of these kinds of setup with specific FreeBSD and NetApp versions...
